      The hum of compressors is one of the most beautiful sounds in the modern world! BA, I'm glad you're up and running now.

      We had a pretty strong blow this afternoon. One of my neighbors lost a section of roof tiles. A house across the street had a tree land on their power line.

              I'm making a batch of rye/wheat/semolina buns right now. I will withhold a little of the dough (2 buns worth) and use it to make a pizza for dinner.

                My neighbor's church group had a fish fry yesterday and he gave me some of the leftovers. So for dinner tonight, I had some fish, pasta and broccoli. It was pretty good.

                  I want pizza too! But that's going to have to wait.

                  Yesterday I made rotini pasta with meat sauce and fresh green beans.

                  A few ideas are rattling around in my head for tonight, there are things in the fridge that I want to use up, but haven't made any decision yet.

                    Joan, I can almost taste those cookies!

                    BA, I'm glad you're feeling better.

                      That pizza looks great, CWC! I always use parchment, but after a couple minutes I slide it out. I use the peel to slightly raise the pizza and hold it in place while I use a gloved hand to slide out the parchment.

                      Today I made a tostada and a quesadilla. I had it with snap peas and sauteed mushrooms.

                        Those tomatoes look good. Small tomatoes can pack a lot of flavor.

                            I made a roasted pork tenderloin yesterday with roasted potatoes and snap peas.

                            Today I had leftover pork with some pasta and green beans.

                              One of the things I want in a new waffle maker is removeable plates to make cleanup easier. I looked at a number of options. I decided to not waffle around any longer and made a decision. I bought a Cuisinart that has removeable plates and comes with additional (mostly) flat plates that they call pancake plates. The bottom plate has small slightly indented circles (4). It's suggested that it can used for pancakes (really small ones) eggs, sausage etc. I might use that to make grilled cheese but otherwise I don't see myself using those as I have better options for pancakes, eggs, sausage etc. They really didn't need to put the circles on the plate.

                              So I made waffles today. They came out great, somewhat crispy - not limp at all - and moist on the inside. And cooked to the correct level of brown for my taste (it has a dial to control the browning).

                              Some of the color on that waffle is due to being whole wheat and a fair dose of cinnamon (I opened the jar over the batter and some jumped out, more than I normally would use).

                              I have to work on getting the amount of batter right, I came up a little short. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this. Now I have to find room for it.
